Few Hours later, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDaCv37QK6
Egil felt a comfortable energy flowing into his body. He regained his energy, and slowly opened his eyes. He saw himself stuck under a rock, and quickly managed to get out using his new found strength. As a beast, the first instinct is to absorb ether and get stronger, so he tried to trace the source of this energy, leading to him to none other than the rock that he was stuck under. However, before he could examine it, he found himself face-to-face with another beast. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnweQE5wm
"Hey"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLa2ImjkJ
Egil turned around to see a young man behind him. When he examined his aura, he could see that he was a bear.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1zgaHQDyp
[oh, it's just a bear] 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk4bwlpIO2
Egil thought as he turned his attention to the rock. For a phoenix like himself, bears are nothing but common beasts that are not even worth talking to, as they can't be compared to phoenixes. Axel knew that phoenixes tend to be haughty, but he never thought they were so stupid. Underestimating your opponent is the most fatal mistake you could ever make in the world of beasts after all.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn6MZ2aYuV
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGZQ1MZIdb
Axel used his ability [instant Freeze] and completely froze Egil in his place.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKAMxpElVo
"You sure are a rude brat. Not only you barge into my house uninvited and ruin it, but you also ignore those who are older than you. Don't get carried away kid. Even though you're a phoenix, you were beaten by a girl with no aura"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyjAx24MHp
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq06W2Qvaxj
That struck a nerve for Egil. He finally recalled how he tried to kill the rat that dared to hit him, but before he knew it, a huge weight fell over him and he blacked out.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnsTub1tPQ
[Don't joke with me! ME? get defeated by a rat with no aura?!]656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6bobvSwCb
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEjz84J84W
Egil released his aura without holding back, and the ice melted quickly. His aura was crimson red and radiated with heat energy.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4N9vNGguY
Before Axel could ask anything, he noticed the ice was melting, but instead of panicking, he chuckled.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBWHkGmJQ
"Not bad, kid. Surprised you lost with such strength"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMRbdiFGzi
"Get out of my way"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QdESK9Uo
"hmm?"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yyaiduSB
"Once I'm done with that rat, you'll be next, so get out of my way"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztW4ZBfwFx
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e3Cq9Mhdr
"Oh, the girl over there? You're saying she's a rat beast? but she doesn't have that kind of aura though?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1oPhAy28A
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcQqoCkHNB
"Get out of my way"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9W5XQsE3n
"You really are rude aren't you? What if I say no?"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYqL2hfjj
"Then I'll just have to get rid of you first"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIxBr7vSiN
Before Egil could move, however, he found himself pulled down by a great force, and got slammed into the ground.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKwcVogwUN
"Sorry, but you'll have to stay here for a while. Don't think you could trash my house and leave so easily before explaining yourself"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRaZAELDF0
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeYjjOGOth
"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60dt1wHoHY
"Nothing special, just some gravity force skill, not that big of a deal. Come on, can't the almighty phoenix handle it?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZDAigQxoB
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChwmGGEJb
"DAMN YOU!"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy85zoRPwHd
Axel smirked.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ISRyWriEe
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrZT1AYaP
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVWX7flTC4
Axel sighed and realized that after making the Phoenix angry, there is no way he will answer his questions. Just in case, he casted a special spell on him before he directed his target to the girl.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr7STD7Nsg
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUp4pDqlWu
[I have to know what exactly happened here, and how these ether crystals appeared. Although absorbing these crystals present here is enough to reach a level much higher than my goal, I just can't swallow this good luck so easily like that...I have to know the everything before I make my decision]656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj7FAJxExG
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuUwticGIn
Axel got closer to Aylin and started to check her condition. She was still unconscious, breathing slowly, and burnt a bit in the arm. Other than that, she's fine. Considering how the phoenix was angry with her, she must have won against him in a fight. Axel felt this is just unbelievable with her small frame and the absence of aura. He gulped in worry.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epmMFUcaH
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUaVHACBse
[Could it be possible that she's good at hiding her aura? That stupid phoenix kept calling her a rat, but how could something as small as a rat win against a phoenix? Rather than restraining her, it might be a wiser to coax her into telling me what I want...who knows how she might erupt if she was provoked]656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1kScskDp
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6bNv1UIZH
And so, Axel made up his mind and carried Aylin princess-style. He decided to go to the Walnut Wood clan again, and get them to treat the girl well. They might be able to figure out her origin, how she defeated the phoenix, but most importantly, if she knew how the ether crystals in his cave appeared. While they do that, he'll sort things with the phoenix and his house. When got out of the cave, he noticed the mammoth he hunted still there, but there were some beasts not far away looking at it with gleaming eyes. Axel released a bit of his aura, and it took less than a second for the hyenas to run away in panic.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6eb8yxkIh
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKxlRq9Rf
"Damn hyenas"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqo1bb0vJO
He put Aylin on his shoulders, then moved the dead mammoth into his cave.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1v4pdFca5
"Like hell I'm letting anyone eat MY kill"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFls7TVMWd
Once he was done, Axel didn't bother carrying Aylin with his two hands and figured it was more comfortable to just leave her hanging on his shoulder. She was very light, and strangely enough, didn't transform to her original form yet.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq98Gdb5Ob
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCQLWaKiD5
After all, if a beast in unconscious for a long time in its human form, it is bound to return to its original form.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjv58f4wyr
With many questions in his mind, Axel went back towards the Walnut Wood Clan.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3B6mpl9Yy
In the cave,656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38bqwDlIBU
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaRN8Fy6tu
Egil: "...*sniff* MEAT!! and it's mammoth meat too!! damn Bear!! He's trying to torture me too!! I'M SO HUNGRY!! Release me at once!! I know you can hear me!! Do you know who am I?!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5SJL0OXQU
The beasts around the cave became frightened by the unusually screams of a phoenix near the mountain, and many escaped further from that area.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFwe72cfB
